Re: Would you vote for Rand Paul for president?

I apologize, I cant hear you over my extremely radical ideology where I believe people should be free to make their own decisions in life.

as long as they own their own island nation with nobody else on it- I am marching with you my friend.

Re: Would you vote for Rand Paul for president?

No, but I would put out a Democratic response to Rubio and Paul, two of the repub carps after the SOTU.
This silliness didn't exist when the Constitution was written.
Multiple wings of the Repubs now require it.

He later walked his statements back somewhat after they aroused controversy but that was his initial position.

What do you think about that?

I'll tell you what I think: Anyone who thinks like he thinks will never get my vote.

I'm not saying that the man is a racist, but his attitude would have let racists do what they want to do.

People who think like him are one of the main reasons why the GOP lost the recent election. The GOP is on the wrong (losing) side of every social issue. We will see how that works out for the GOP in the future.

Personally I think rand Paul does not have the practical decision making required for govenor. I think Hilliary should not run in 2016 let Andrew cumuo have a chance, or maybe Brian Schweitzer if he considers running.
